Guys, i have budget about RM160k. Should i get E60 or E90? I have test drive both. Both also I like. What i prefer is a car that is as new as possible, considering my budget. Any idea?

Definitely not new. What i meant was the year made is as latest as possible. Gonna give them both a try again, to get the feel. I like 530d. Very torquey. Tried looking around for E90 diesel, but couldnt find any in Mudah. Dunno about other websites though.

Haha. I heard the fuel consumption on diesel engine is better than petrol engine. Since it's gonna be an everyday car, i think fuel consumption will play an important role in making the decision. Roadtax is not a problem if fuel saving can compensate for it.

Hence, for 3000cc engine, i better opt for diesel engine. I could've been misled with regard to fuel consumption btw diesel and petrol engine. What say you?

When you mentioned about performance (i.e slightly dulled drive), what actually are you refering to? I tried both 530i and 530d, 530d feels more torquey. Sorry caused i dont have much technical knowledge on cars.

Still havent decided which model to choose. Hehe. I like big car, but i also like agile car like E90. At the end maybe i'm just gonna choose whichever that gives me the 'orgasm'. Haha. tongue.gif

Haha. What i realized is petrol engine can rev higher than their counterpart. I do love the sound of high rpm. But this time around, i probably dont care much anymore.

If i got enough money, i'll go for 335 instead. tongue.gif

It's time for me to replace the rubber for my E60. What brand should I go for? And should I stick with RFT, or convert to non-RFT? Any good tire workshop to recommend to me? Cheers.

I'm in the middle of replacing my E60 N53 engine. Damaged due to flood. My mechanic says gonna cost me around 30k to rebuild and get the car back to working condition.

Is the price reasonable? Anything else should i ask from my mechanic? Maybe a couple of months warranty?
